Yard Update

Hello again!

So, Are you wondering about the snow that's left?  Well, it's not much... Here you  can see a little patch of white in the field across the street.

Also, just above the pond by the treeline, there's a little snow. 

Here's all the snow that was left in the yard on May 12.  A little patch to the left of the playhouse in front of the trees. 

That was our last day of snow in the yard!

Here it is in February!

So, what have I been working on during my week off work?  Cleaning up the yard.

 K and I cleaned up the junk by the shed, 

(Here it is before, last year.)

and the front of the house.

(Here you can see the junk on the left side of the house.)

We loaded up the trailer and took 1/4 ton (!) of waste to the dump!

But is this all our junk?  No.....

Look what we uncovered when we took down the front fence.

Here's the fence last year.

 Here's a closer look.

Ahh!! 

If you remember, this was a problem last year in July. Here it is from the back

Here it is today.

I've dug out that bush/tree by the corner of the building.  There were two big roots that were 3 inches in diameter, if not more!

And here's another close up. 

So, our plan is to get rid of this junk and move the fence back to the corner of the building.

It should just be a small part of fence (maybe 5 feet) and then the gate.  You can see the gate still standing in the pic below on the right.

The gate is about 16 feet (?) wide.  It's divided into two parts and meets in the middle.

This is a long weekend.  Monday is Victoria Day here in Canada.  I have to work tomorrow, but other than that, we don't have any plans.  The weather is supposed to be sunny and mild, around 20C (70F), so we should be able to get a lot of yard work done!

Have a great weekend!  Happy Victoria Day! :-)
